The Background:
Sega decided to create a handheld game system called the Game Gear, then they decided to make a game for the system with their new mascot, Sonic The Hedgehog. The game was also released the on the Sega Master System, which was Sega's first gaming system. Originally for the Genesis, Game Gear's version had totally different levels.
The Story:
Dr Robotnik is back and has built a giant cannon on South Island, since it's a mountain. All of the animals seem to be disapearing, it's all up to Sonic The Hedgehog to stop Robotnik before it's too late.
Stage Walkthrough:
Green Hill Zone

The easiest of the levels, it also features the same music from the Genesis version. Pretty simple, all you need to do is keep on the look out for spikes and three Badniks which are Crabmeats, Crawlers, and Buzz Bombers. When you make it to act 3, you'll face Dr Robotnik in his Egg-O-Matic, you'll be ring-less since there isn't any rings in that level. Easiest solution of defeating Robotnik here is to start hitting him right when he enters, if you get 8 hits he'll be destroyed before he even starts to attack you.
Chaos Emerald: In Act 2 go down to the caves in the water area, it'll be some where close.
Bridge Zone

Most of this whole zone is on a bridge, hence the name. There's two types of bridge, the ones that slightly cave in and the ones that are flat: Be careful of the flat ones because some may fall. Be careful and look out for jumping Pirahnabots, they are jumping Pirahna's that'll try and bite you, also Spike Tops will hurt you if you jump on one, roll attack these Bots. Act 2 gets slightly harder, the game board moves, so you'll have to jump and move at all times to survive. Now in Act 3 you'll face Dr Robotnik in an area with a middle, and each side will have a caving bridge. Robotnik will fly from the right or left side, when he does, jump on him and run to the side before he shoots you with 3 energy balls. Hit him 8 times to destroy his Egg-O-Matic.
Chaos Emerald: In Act 1 there will be a falling bridge that has a Emerald to the left of it, stand on the first wood part of the falling bridge, as it falls jump to the platform with the Chaos Emerald on it.
Jungle Zone

This level has vines that are strong enough to walk on as bridges, there are also logs that fall from water falls that you'll have to jump from one to another in order to get across. Other kinds of logs are ones that you will have to jump on one and run to roll it across water. Make it to Act 3 where you'll only need to jump up, up, and up again until you reach a vine where dr Robotnik will be. There'll be a vine with that sinks slightly making it easy to run up and roll down, Robotnik will throw a small rolling bomb that'll roll up and down blowing up in the middle of the vine, when it rolls toward you jump over it and hit Robotnik 2 times, repeat this 3 more times until Robotnik's Egg-O-Matic blows up.
Chaos Emerald: Watch for water falls in Act 2, there'll be on with a log in the river of the water fall, move toward the left side where there'll be a hole with a Chaos Emerald in it.
Labyrinth Zone

Oh no a water level! This level is a lot like the Genesis version, don't run outta breath, find air bubbles fast! The Badniks are Grounders, Orbinauts, and Jaws, there are lots of spikes that'll even cover floors, also parts of the floor might be colored different, if you step on it you'll be sent upward toward a bunch of spikes, if you hit them you'll die. Now on to Act three, the room will have two holes in the left and right of the ceiling and one hole in the middle of the floor. Robotnik will come up from the bottom hole first. Jump on him and lean to the left after he fires his two energy balls. If you leaned far enough, you'll land on the left platform. He'll come down from the left side hole next. Hit him three times then move all the way to the left. He'll shoot a missle. Once it gets in front of you, it will fly straight forward. Wait for it to reach your level, then jump. Then, jump to the right platform so you'll be ready when Robotnik comes in from the hole on the right side. Hit his ship four times now and you should defeat him before he shoots the missle.Free the animals like always and finish the level!
Chaos Emerald: In act 2 there'll be a bed of spikes, walk across fast so you won't die and grab the Chaos Emerald.
Scrap Brain Zone

Be careful or you'll get smashed. There is electricity every where, be careful not to get toasted either. Act 3 is tough, a giant maze of 'toobs' to jump into, if you make the maze you"ll get to the end where you'll enter the last zone.
Chaos Emerald: Find a area where there is a long ramp going up and one going down, take the up ramp and you'll find 3 holes, jump into the third one, when you land in the hallway run to the teleporter which is to the right, get in the teleporter and run to the right, you'll find the Chaos Emerald.
Sky Base Zone

The toughest of the levels, this one has all the traps. Be careful you don't fall, get electricuted, or other posiblities. The lightning electricity paths will flicker off and on before it hits you, so you'll be warned to get outta the way. Be careful of Orbinauts, Cannons, and Bombbots: They are Badniks of the level. In the end of act 1 and begining of act 2 you'll climb Dr Robotnik's blimp. You'll encounter lots of dangers like being chased by a spike wall, lots of Badnik's too! While running away from the wall dodge the bullets and cannons where you'll make it to a taking you to dr Robotnik in your final fight.
